I'm Kat, an army wife living out in "sunny" WA state.

I have always been athlete- showing horses, playing soccer, running and enjoyed lots of outdoor activities. But after playing college soccer, I had a couple injuries that took some down time to heal and gained about 15 lbs. Then, I got married and started my massage therapy practice and gained 10 more. Then, last year, my Dr asked me try the Depo shot and it seriously suppressed my thyroid. So, on top of feeling like crap, I gained 50 lbs in three months, topping out at 198.

I had the last shot one year ago this month. And I'm only down to 188. Despite abnormal thyroid, my drs are insisting that I don't need meds. Oh well.

So, I'm changing drs. :) And trying to do everything else as well as I can so they can't tell me I just need to exercise a little more.

I love the layout and easy to use functions of this site!
